<dt><big><b class="mainheading">What is it?</b></big>
    <dd>This property controls the state of the state of an Input Method
        Editor (IME) for user text entry fields. An IME is used in Asian
        languages to assist in the creation of characters from a large character 
        set, using an entry device that contains only a small subset or an 
        entirely different set of characters than the larger character set.
